The Wild Before by Piers Torday

One frosty winter’s night, a pure white calf is born on an ordinary muddy farm by the light of a silver moon. This is the legendary Mooncalf, whose arrival has been foretold since the dawn of time. According to a dream passed down from animal to animal, if the calf dies, a great terribleness will come – rising seas, a plague, skies raining down fire, the end of all things… and Little Hare vows to persuade all the animals to protect Mooncalf, whatever the cost

But it’s easier said than done, and soon Little Hare realises that he is the only one who can save the world.

It’s a lovely story and I really enjoyed reading it with my 9 year old. The story is really topical and perfect for children who love a good story, animals and the world around them. It has definitely inspired us to get our hands on The Last Wild trilogy.

The Wild Before by Piers Torday was published on 19th August by Quercus Children’s Books priced £12.99. It is perfect for ages 9 and over.
